16 N Carpenter Street #4N Chicago IL 60607 | MLS #MRD12780351

This Belgravia floor plan at 16 N Carpenter doesn’t come up often. 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, two private outdoor spaces, and a custom built-in workspace, in one of the best-run boutique buildings in the West Loop. Step off the private elevator and you’re already home. No hallway, no shared corridor. Just single-level living that opens up with soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. The east-to-west exposure gives you rare, largely unobstructed city views in both directions, sunrise over the skyline one way, sunset the other. That kind of open sightline is hard to find in the West Loop these days. Full days of natural light, start to finish. Every detail here has been touched with intention. Fresh paint, custom built-ins, closet systems that were professionally finished rather than an afterthought, high-end lighting throughout. The hallway alone tells you something about the level of care. The recessed lighting was custom converted into matching fixtures, a small move that most people would never think to make and most owners would never bother paying for. The built-in workspace does the same thing in spirit. It adds real function to the home without eating into the living space. Primary suite has its own private balcony. Second bedroom comes with an en suite. This is a layout built for how people actually live, not just how a floor plan looks on paper. And then there’s the location, which honestly does a lot of the selling on its own. You’re on Carpenter between Madison and Washington, a quiet, tree-lined, dog and family friendly block that somehow sits right in the middle of everything. Monteverde is around the corner. Au Cheval, Girl & the Goat, avec, Prime & Provisions, Swift & Sons. Randolph Street’s Restaurant Row is a five-minute walk in one direction, Fulton Market’s in the other. Coffee in the morning at Sawada or Dark Matter. Mary Bartelme Park is right there for the dog, for the kids, for just getting outside, and it sits directly across from the West Loop branch library, which is a real plus for anyone with a family. Skinner Elementary is the neighborhood school. Whole Foods, Mariano’s, Target, Equinox, all within a few blocks. Racine Blue Line and Ogilvie Metra get you anywhere in the city, and 90/94 is close enough that you forget you’re technically in the middle of everything. It’s the kind of block where you get the energy of the West Loop, the restaurants, the shops, the constant motion, without ever feeling like you’re living on top of it. That balance is hard to find. This home, on this block, in this building, is exactly that.
